Recently on these pages, I passed along information on the Pike County, Illinois Catfish Trail.

I have learned that I didn't know the half of it.

The Pike County Chamber of Commerce has now partnered with the Quincy Area Convention and Visitor's Bureau for what is now known as the Tri-County Catfish Trail.

Timed to coincide (sort of) with Lent, the Catfish Trail began February 25 and runs through June 3.

If you were part of the Pike County Tenderloin Trail last fall, you know the basics - pick a  place to start, enjoy your catfish, pick up your map/placemat and your punchcard, take your selfie with your dinner, post it on the Trail's Facebook Page, and get ready to hit the trail.

To be eligible for this round of "fabulous prizes," you visit at least nine of the participating businesses, get your placemats initialed, your punchcards punched, and mail them to the chamber/CVB offices in Pittsfield or Quincy.

The thing to remember on the Catfish Trail is that there are a number of places that only serve fish on Fridays. So, if you want to make a trail stop on a day other than Friday, you might want to call ahead.

Here is a list of the stops on the Catfish Trail. Those marked with an asterisk are the places that don't have fish every day:
